The National Service Scheme (NSS) has paid the September allowance of National Service Personnel across the country.
A group calling itself Concerned National Service Personnel Association of Ghana, over a week ago threatened to picket the Flagstaff House, if the government fails to pay them their allowances.
According to its Convener, William Agbodo, the government had failed to pay service personnel two months into their service, a situation that is negatively affecting its members.
He urged government to pay their allowances or they will be forced to picket at the presidency to demand same.
“Since we started service from 4th September, nothing has been done by the government so far to ensure that our monthly allowance is paid. They keep telling us to exercise a little patience but up till now, there is no hope that they will be paying us soon. Most of us come from far away to our work places, and we always have to walk a long distance to get to our places.”
But speaking to Kasapa News, Deputy Executive Director in charge of Finance & Administration of NSS, Dr Gifty Oware explained that the payment of the allowance delayed because service personnel had to go through National Identification registration process to establish their identity.
She disclosed that the service personnel will receive their October allowance before the end of the month.

I perfectly side with u cos i dont know the reason wy we those at the health sectors havent me paid our allowance, i heard NSS wont be the one to pay us but rather Ministr of Health and we are not hearing any good news from them either. we have to suffer and go to work by starving all day in order to get transportation
It's not true. No money has come.
Those saying we should relax, fine, we don't have problem with that but if u happen to be like those of us on our own without any support else where, you will understand. At times you have to starve yourself the whole day to save for your transportation.

Today is 29th October 2017 and NSS gonna pay 0ctober-allowance?When are they paying? The fact that workers receive theirsalaries more than 4 months after employment is still not right besides,controller only pays a maximum of three-months salary.
The NSS Personnels should relax. Even for those of us who are permanent employees of the government it at times take more than three or four months before we receive our first salary. They should give us a break.
It's good though but it's like nothing has been done because on one category of people doing the service are paid. The health trainees doing their internships have not received anything. We are not paid.
Great news but it took too long
